    I think I'd ask for my money back and take it to a nursery that grows it's own plants and buy from them - then you can see what you're getting.

    I think they are owned/connected with T&M.

    In the first instance I must state I have no vested interest in Jersey plants Direct.Over the past 4 years I have used them and had first class service together with plants of quality.This was after being severely let down by most of their competers.Only once have I had reason to complain which was dealt with politely and efficiently. Several garners I know echo my experience with Jersey I just hope they keep up this level of service.My fear is T & M will gain a monopoly of garden products then our pockets will suffer.

    i feel that i have just been a bit unlucky with my order. yes they were prome to replace them last year and was polite and helpfull as i asked loads of q incase i was at falut when planting my plants. i am just disaponted that they did not get thro this really mild winter this year. the one plant that you just put in the gound with some  compost that should of got thou the winter was fire and ice the rest  of my hostas huve just fired and shoots just pocking thro the ground

    I would wait a while before thinking a Hosta hasn't survived, mine aren't through yet.

    I had problems with plants from Jerseyplantsdirect as well. The plants were very very small plugs that arrived months after I had ordered, so late that I had to overwinter in the greenhouse over winter. They sat fine all winter then last March just gave up and died - to small to have survived winter in the UK, even in a frost free GH. I contacted Jerseyplants and basically said not their problem as it was over 1 month and offered 10%  next order, so I have not ordered from them since.

  • My husband has brought from Jersey Plants a few times and he has always been pleased with condition of plants received and the service,  but one thing to remember is to follow their instructions exactly when plants arrive as one time he opened them by left in containers they arrived in and they deteriorated very quickly.

    Personally I like to buy locally
